January 3, 2008i hated starbucks on principle before. the commodification of coffee as a status symbol is enough to make someone with even a passing respect for espresso cringe. sure, i’m a snob. but i’m also a damn good barista, and they have ruined sizes, flavors, and the expectations of the gen pop upon entering a cafe for the worst.
alright, i’ll get to the point.
i had to take my car in to get the tires re-alligned. so i sucked it up and walked down the block to starbucks, hoping to catch up on my emails, etc.
starbucks does not have free wireless. WOW. a company that makes that poor of quality products, turns a huge profit by charging five dollars for milk, and they STILL charge you to use their internet? fuck you, starbucks.
how am i blogging then, you ask?
i walked back to the schwab to enjoy some free coffee (holla) and spied a sign- free wireless!
moral of the story- starbucks = shit, schwab = awesome.
in other news, devil makes three was amazing. what a good show. and a good night. my friends tired early, and my mother recommended i go out again. so i did. and i needed to. got to spend some quality time with some lovely souls.
zachary is back in the states and i really can’t wait to see him. but i don’t know when my services here will no longer be needed, and i will pack the dog and head north once again.
as per usual, i am just too small to meet everyone’s needs.
xoxo me
